mini toilet

Well first of all, for all who are wondering what is so special about this pic. I shall enlighten you. Here on the road we get in to something many people call a "rythem" this is where you do the same thing day after day and everthing feels very repetitive. So when something out of the ordinary happens it is very exciting. For instance today are dressing room was the preschool room for church. That's not the exciting part however, the preshoolers have there own customized bathrooms...and that's what excited us. The toilet was a third of the size a normal toilet is and so was the sink. Spectacular, I know. I felt like I was at the north pole with buddy the elf.
well, with all that said today was a good day... And the mini toilet gets the most credit for it.
Hope all is well.

[Sarah Lottis]

Blessings,
Sarah

[Sierra]

Dude!!! That's amazing!!! When in a place like that, all one should say is, "I just like smiling, smiling is my favorite!"

[Rebecca H.]

Wow...random much? But I totally know what ya mean, I get into a "rhythm" at school all the time, so if someone shows up with mismatched socks, it's party time on the blog. Hee hee, that is so funny that the preschoolers' toilets are customized! I'm sure my 2-year-old niece would love that so she doesn't have to keep accidentally falling into "big" toilets in public restrooms!

[Elysha]

That is toooooooo funny!!

[Erica]

Ya, once i was in a play and that was like the only toilet the cast could use. So i know they are so tiny! LOL!

[Rachel DeSimpelare]

Haha, that is great! We used to have little toilets at my chruch when we were in preschool. They are so amzingly awesome! But back then they were just the right size! But now they kinda make me want to pretend that I'm Godzilla or something! lol Congrats on breaking the rhythm!!! God bless!
Rachel D. :)

[AbbyLee=)]

Lol...my cuzin luvs those cuz she falls into the big ones!

I have to say after watching your dads Curtis Crawdaddy...blog I feel much better about my own wacky father!

[Mom]

I love the blog.......LOL

Love,

Mom

[yogamama]

TOOO CUTE! LOL!!!! Isn't God great what He gives us to bump us out of routine? Anyone who says that He doesn't provide must be referred to your herein blog post.

I was similarly moved from my monotony once at the appearance of an itty bitty tiny urinal (we have 4 boys so this one caught my eye!)... it was so very "cute" that I considered putting one into our boys' bathroom. Of course, that was years ago, the bathroom is still not remodeled, and now they would all seem as tall as nba players (and our contractor advised us that it doesn't necessarily keep anything cleaner, it just makes a bigger target).

Our children's museum in Seattle actually has 3 or 4 different toilets which are smaller than a standard sized toilet for all stages of the elfin. There are the sinks to match as well! Pretty cute. Next time you're in town, we can show them to you. Your sisters would love them, although probably not nearly as much as if they were brothers ;-) lol!

btw, we love your CD!!! One song would be particularly perfect for a short Christian film I just worked on... contact me if you want to discuss.

Have fun, keep smiling, and hope all those concerns from your previous post get "ironed" out. I'm sure I'd have seen that around my house by now if we actually had a coffee table... and if we ironed. I can't even remember when I ironed last... just love those "wrinkle free" clothes...

God bless,
Millie

I love the blog! The tiny toliets are so cute! But I just found your blog and I wanted you to know that I love your mini CD! Its so amazing! The songs are truely my all time favs! I saw you in concert with your dad back in February in ATL! Well, I just want you to know that I am praying for you and your present/future ministry. Keep up the awesome work, and I expect to hear more out of you soon!! Keep focusing on the talents that God has given you, and no matter what struggles you go through in your life, God is always there to lift you back up again.
Your sister in Christ,

Samantha

[C.E.O. Carl Mattes]

Sir,
I am a manufacture of the mini toilet copmany of the US. We are very hurt that you have posted such unreasonable comments about us. We are very hurt. We hope that someday, when when you have children you might understand that lifteing them up can be a pain. So we hope that by haveing mini toilets across America we can help the population with the increasing amounts of back pain from lifting children up to the toilet. We hope you might consider this prospect.
Thank you for your time.
Keep those toilets shinnin' and
blinking!

[Kari Kooi]

Hi Caleb,
I heard you open for your dad in Houston on Valentine's day and I think that you should try out for american idol next season! It would be awesome to have a Christian contestant and you already have my vote!

Caleb,

I am a Wife, Mom and Worship Leader and my husband and I saw you in Minnesota this year! I want to tell you how clear your love for our Savior was! My heart is breaking for you and your family...There are no words really. Please go to the Rock of which your foundation has been laid, There is a verse that says I will not be shaken and I will not be moved...Know that God is God...and your beautiful sister is where we are all longing to be...home. I don't mean that to sound trite, but I know she is dancing with her Savior...We are lifting you up in prayer...and will continue to do so.

Dear Caleb,
Our thoughts, prayers, and tears go out to you and your family. I just wanted to give you some Bible verses that might help and comfort you and your family in this difficult time...God uses our suffering for good; He doesn't waste our pain-2 Corinthians 1:3-6,Grief teaches us what really matters-John 16:33, Life will never be the same again, but you will not always feel like you do at the time of loss-John 11:33-37,It is important to know how God views our grief-Romans 15:13, Hope is the one thing that can bring joy and peace in your life-Romans 5:3-5, For hope to not bring dissapointment, there is a sequence of understanding-1 Timothy 4:10, 1 Peter 3:15, It is God's grace that you can grieve-not as those who do not have hope but as those who do-1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Hope is only valuable when it is something we are waiting for-Romans 8:24-25, Revelation 21:10-18-- Here are some verses from the book of Psalms that might bring encouragement: Palm 31;24,38:15,42:5,71:5,146:5. Again we will be praying for you and your family. As a 17 year old that has a ten year old brother I can only imagine how hard it must be.

In Christ,
Rachel Carmichael
Boynton Beach, Florida

[MamaPoRuski]

Words cannot express our hearts for you at this time of loss. We wish we could comfort you at this time! Know that you are loved, by God and so many others that are proud to be a part of your extended family of believers!

[Maria]

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I'm 16 and I have 2 young nephews and can't even imagine what you're going through. I know it probly doesn't feel like it now, but everything will turn out alright in the end. As I think someone posted above, one of the most comforting verses in the scripture, Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God." The big guy has got this. Just know that many people are praying for your family.

[Megan]

Just wanted to let you know I am praying with you and your family. God's grace is gonna be so huge to help you through this time, even though it may feel like the end of the world. Don't give up. Life is not over although it's hard right now. God is taking the best care of your little sister in heaven, because of you and your family she had the opportunity to know the truth of Jesus, she might not have ever known you guys hadn't adopted her and that would be a tradgedy worse than this one. God loves you all and will heal you. I'm not sure who was driving, but whoever it is know you haven't blown it with God or your Christian family... the Lord still loves you and will say "Well Done Good and FAITHFUL servant" to you one day. You just hang in there because your family loves you and no matter what has happened, they can't do without you too. No one thinks you are horrible. The arms of the body of Christ are reaching out in love and compassion for you, pleading for you to feel our great love for you. We hope you can feel us holding unto you and weeping with you wanting to give you peace and security. It could have been anyone. I used to have an SUV and struggled countless times to make sure I was dodging neighborhood kids as I backed out of the driveway. I am so sorry. Jesus holds you. I want to encourage you too, I have experienced and have close friends with experiences where they were driving, an accident happened and their friend in the car or jet ski didn't make it. These were close friends, like family and years later they are okay. When we feel like we can't hang on, let God hold onto you! Me and my family are holding onto you as well. I lost my Dad unexpectedly last year just 6 days before my baby girl was born. Tough year, but it gets easier and easier. It's not going to stay this bad. You will breath easier! I'm here if you need to talk.
In His grace.

[Kimberly]

Caleb we are all praying for each of you May God continue to bless you.

[Dena]

Caleb,
I am a 37 year old mom of 3, one adopted from China.
I am sitting here crying for you and your family. I feel one of the strongest urges to pray for you that I've ever felt. I will be praying for the Lord's love and comfort in the midst of your extreme pain.
You must be stricken with grief. I want you to know that the Lord loves you with all of his heart, and will someday show you the why. Lean into Him, he weeps with you, sweet man of God. You will come out on the other side of this tragedy, you will.
Right now, He is calling on thousands, if not more, to pray for you and your family. He is doing a work in my heart as I pray for you.
He is big enough to handle ANY feeling you have. HE LOVES YOU.
Going before the throne of grace right now.

[GoalGuru.com]

I want you to know I am praying for you and your family. You are loved.

[Erica]

Caleb,

Right now you are most likly feeling like you are the only person who has ever hurt this much and no one will ever understand.... God does, trust Him, cry out to Him, He is there, He loves you so much!!! Last summer about a month after i turned 13 my mom died. I was there right next to her, we had all just finished singing the last verse-last note of Amazing Grace... I felt so helpless, i was right there and she just slipped away... There are days that i feel i can't go on i miss her so much. I see all the other kids in the world who are so blessed with moms and take them for granted... I sort of know how you feel... Nothing can bring Maria back, but treasure the memories you have of her, and one day you'll see her again. Through this God will use you, i have been able to minister to poeple in ways i would of never been able to if my mom were alive. Caleb, I am praying for you, please don't give up on God now, this is when you need Him most. Trust Him to substain you, He will give you enough strength to make it through each day. I won't promise it will be easy, but with God all things are possible.

Caleb,

I am a 37 year old mother of a 14 yr old son and a 6 yr old daughter. I can't begin to imagine what you and your family are going through, but please know all of you are loved and being lifted in prayer to our awesome God. Hang in there and know we are all here for all of you. Maria is now in the hands of our loving heavenly father for eternity and she is loved... God bless.

[Mike Achee]

My heart, my family's heart goes out to you and your family. The thing I have feared happening to one of my 3 boys for some reason has happened to your family.... I'm so sorry. My heart has been heavy all day over your loss and over your son's pain.

God did remind me of an awesome fact this morning as I drove to work. I had been praying for you guys while I was taking 2 of my boys to daycare and I looked up and saw a window sticker I have never seen before, on the car in front of me. It said, "God is greater than any problem I have." I have been thinking about that all day long. I make so many excuses in my life for why God can't use me, because I'm not "fixed" yet, "I'm not perfect". I think about how big your family’s pain must be but when I saw this sticker in front of me reminding me how big God is, it reminded me of the fact that God trumps everything. I don't mean to trivialize your pain (or the pain I've experienced because of my "thorns of the flesh") but for the first time in a long time I caught a glimpse of how big God is. If God is bigger than this tragedy of yours... how awesome he must be. God is sort of like the A of Spades! He trumps every card that is played! I know that God will over time comfort you and your family and will show Himself big to you and to the World..

[Morgan Taylor]

Im so sorry about Maria

[Elizabeth]

Caleb,
I just can't even imagine.... I have felt pain before but never like yours... Right now, I'm sure no words could even begin to console you but here are some provoking words from one of God's servants, Rob Bell:

'The cross is God's way of saying, "I know what it's like"
The execution stake is the creator of the universe saying "I know how you feel."
Our tendency in the midst of suffering is to turn on God. To get angry and bitter and shake our fist at the sky and say, "God you don't know what it's like! You don't understand! You have no idea what I'm going through. You don't have a clue how much this hurts."
The cross is God's way of taking away all of our accusations, excuese, and arguments.
The cross is God taking on flesh and blood and saying, "Me too."

I am praying....

Elizabeth

Your family's music ministry has touched our lives in so many ways. We loved seeing you this past Valentine's Day in Houston. You are an amazing young man and have an amazing family behind you. We are crying with you, yet we rejoice because we know Maria is in the arms of Our Savior. We grieve with you because we long to see those we have lost. May you find strength in the prayers that are being offered for you. If you find that you can not pray, know that we are doing that for you.

Caleb,
My family is praying for you and your family. Because of your family, we received a grant which helped us bring our daughter home from Vietnam. We have been blessed in so many ways by your faith in God and I know that same faith will keep you during this tragic time. You are in our prayers.

[Kristen]

I know that nothing that any of us can say can take away the pain of what you and your family must be feeling right now. But know that you are all loved by countless people who have been touched by your family. You guys have served as an inspiration to many!

May that love that you all share for God and one another be the strength that carries you during this difficult time.

[Lacey Wabshaw]

Caleb-
I sort of know how you're feeling; I lost my sister in 2004 (she would be 4 today). It hurts. I felt alone and forgotten. I was angry at God for letting it happen- even though it was expected (she had a heart disorder). When my Mom told me what had happened to Maria my heart broke for you and your family. The old wounds from the loss of my sister seemed to rip open anew. I'm sorry that there isn't anything I can say to soothe the pain that you are experiencing so immensely at this time. And yes, God does work all things out for His good, but don't let anyone tell you, that, because of that you can't cry, or be sad/angry/hurt. God hurts when you hurt. Don't let anyone say that you have to "just get over it"- you've gone through something that many people never will. You might lose "friends" because you're hurt and people won't know what to say, so they might just avoid you. And then you'll have people that want to say something comforting, but will blurt out something completely stupid- those things you just have to let slide. Just know that there are so many people out there holding you and your family up in prayer. I am praying and grieving for you during this extremely difficult time. Run to Jesus, He's the Only One that can carry your pain, He knows. He aches and hurts for you and with you. Just know that you have a sweet little sister right there alongside Jesus, and I know my little sister is standing right beside her.

Crying with you,
Lace

[Robin]

Dear Child of God,
Please know that the God that you have proclaimed to the thousands, is now catching all of the thousands of tears that you and your family cry. Although not in the flesh, but by His Spirit, we are family, and when one of us hurt, we all hurt. Grieve for the night, but joy cometh in the morning, and we long for the day that we will grieve no more. That is the place where your sister is.
We will keep you uplifted to His throne!!!!
In His Hands!

[Michelle from Greentown, IN]

Our God is bigger than all of this, and even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it, He IS with you, carrying you, helping you, and healing you. The healing will come slowly...the tears will come often. Isaiah 26:3 -- Keep your mind steadily focused on Him - He promises peace if you do.

I'm praying that the peace that is unexplainable and passes all understanding will be yours.

God is good - all the time - even when it's hard.

I'm praying for you and your family.

[Sarah]

Caleb,

We're praying for you here in VA. Your family is dear to our hearts, and you are on our minds.

God's blessings and comfort are on you Caleb. He will never leave you.

Sarah

[Beka]

Caleb,

My heart is broken for you and your family right now, and I know there are no words I can say that would change a thing. Just know that I'm praying so hard for your whole family, and that you can lean on Jesus during this time when you can't move in your own strength. He will carry you until you can walk again. You and your family are loved. I look forward to meeting your sister in heaven.

[Kim]

Just wanted to let you know, as many others have, that we are praying. I have bigger kids and younger ones,too...this is a great fear of mine and has been over the years...but accidental things are not in our control. God is the One who knows all and sees all...we can't...we are just humans and can't know to prevent something before it happens. If we could we would--no doubt.

I do think, though, that what your family is dealing with now is one of the hardest things ever...but you are not alone. God is with you all the time--He never fails, He wants to carry you through this as only He can. Plus, you have all these people who love you and are supporting you all--that is such a blessing.

I am not speaking from experience...just speaking of my Great Savior and I know He is faithful to us as we go through trials and hurts that are so deep we can't even pretend to put our heads or hearts around it..we don't know why, we may never know why...but, we trust in a loving good God through it all.

I am praying for you, Caleb, and you entire family. We love you in the Lord.

[Kelsi]

Caleb
I feel so bad for you. I saw you and your dad perform just last week and my dad told me yesterday what happened. I started crying and I listened to Cinderella which was written after Maria and Stevey Joy. I just feel for you family for tonight to get through this smoothly and camly. We're all praying for you and we love your family very much. I just hope that Stevey Joy and Shaoey are feeling okay and that even though they miss their sister they know that she is with Jesus and dancing watching over them and the rest of your family. My little brother is 5 and ever since I have been so protective of him I just think how bad it would be to lose him. We have our times where we think that we hate each other but we just love each other too much. I've been thinking of asking my parents to maybe adopt from China and if we could that would be so amazing. We're crying and praying for your beloved family and we hope that you will be okay. I just think of your song "Hallelujah" where the verse says "hallelujah our God saves" and he does. He saved Maria. He saved her from suffering and he let her come to him so she could live a fun everlasting life. I can picture Maria still dressing up like a princess and singing and dancing watching you right now. She will never forget you and when you go and see her in heaven she will give you a big hug and just keep loving you and your whole family. We are praying, crying and loving for your family in need and we will keep you in mind. I hope that your family feels better and will get through tonight at the service well. We all love you and your family. We're all praying.

[Rachel Beth]

Caleb, I cannot even begin to imagine what you and your family are going through right now. I know that nothing anyone could say will make it hurt any less. But God can. I will be praying for you continually and I know many many others are as well.

[Megan]

YEEIKES!
You're worrying me. If that looks exciting to, I don't even WANT to know what you're normal day is like. Sounds like you need some change-up. Never knew being a christian pop star could be so boring...ER or should I say EXCITING!

[Shannon]

Hi Caleb,
I posted the comment about you worrying me, you know about being excited about a toilet? Anyway I also posted a pretty long comment on Emily's blog about losing a sibling that I'd like you to read. It's tough I know, but God is with you. I recently lost a little brother. If you want to read it it's on Emily's blog. I think It might be encouraging especially if you were the one driving the car.
Praying for you,
Shannon

[Pam]

Dear, sweet, precious Caleb. I am writing to congratulate you on your high school graduation. It is my understanding that although you will not be walking across stage (because you homeschooled this year) you will be singing. So please know that we will be thinking of you and praying for you and that with all the enthusiasm and love in the world, we congratulate you on this momentous accomplishment. We share the pride your parents surely have in you today, and always.

[Taylor]

Caleb, congratulations, dear one. After all, this is still an exciting day for you.

Hope all goes well.
Again, congrats. (:

God Bless.

[Trish]

Congratulations on your graduation, Caleb!

Caleb,
When I heard about the accident, the first thing I thought of was Job. You see, right after he loses all of possesions and his children, the first thing he does is tears his robe, falls to the ground and worships. He looses everything, and he falls on his knees in adoration of his Creator. When I first read that, I thought he must be crazy, but after I witnessed four Asian orphans go to the arms of my heavenly Father, I understood. Life doesn't always make sense. I won't always understand, but I do have someone to run to. It's about how we respond to situations that makes us who we are. It's about how we glorify our Father. And in the midst of confusion, I find Him best when I'm on my knees in worship. I pray that you will too.

At my church in the todler room, we have one of those 'mini' toilets. It was very interesting to see that for the first time. It was also quite funny.

Hi Caleb,
I can see that you are recieving and will continue to recieve countless numbers of encouraging words from those of us you don't know. I too wanted to add my two cents. It seems like everyone has already said everything I want to say..."we are praying for you in an awesome and heartfelt way", "we think you and your dad are awesome", "we've seen your dad in concert", and "congratulations on graduating". Well, all these are true! Please continue to cast your cares upon Jesus! Look full in His wonderful face. As a mother of 3, I know that your family is living anyone's worst nightmare however, your family has the Lord to strengthen you. I know, I know... you keep hearing that. It may not feel like it right now but, when your ready to give it all to Him, He's waiting patiently for your call. My husband and I won a raffle for tickets to your see your dad at a concert and it really made a great impact in our lives and marriage to hear him speak of you and your family. Please tell him thank you! Again, I know you don't know us but, rest assured that the only thing in the world that matters is your continued relationship with Christ. Use your experiences to change the lives of others... I can tell you that you already have!
Congratulations and good luck!
Our prayers are with you~ let them carry you.
Love, Tracy Van De Grift, Queen Creek, AZ
